@g-willieb3100 - thank you, I appreciate your kind comment. Good choice, the mini is very cool. I’ll tell Wally he has a fan. 😺

@rdyapo - thank you for watching! 🎶🎶

@dianaaldridge-ukulele7785 You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it!

@Thegadgetfish - Congrats on your mini O! I hope it brings you much playing enjoyment. And I’m so glad you found the video helpful! You are going to love that little guitar once you get it set up to your liking. Such a sweet inspiring sound. 🎶🎶 Thanks for watching.

@mr.schrecker - Hi, the mini II has longer fret spacing, it feels more comfortable than a full-size guitar, but you’ll definitely feel the difference between the 20 inch scale. In addition you feel the length in your left arm reaching away from your body. So more weight in your left shoulder reaching out. It will give you more projection/volume than the 20 inch - the regular mini - But you will still need to bring a little mini amp with you if you want to play with a bunch of people that have full size guitars, and be heard. For me, it is worth having and this size has become my preferred travel guitar for going to jam sessions and so on. Hope that helps.

@alaskan6384 - Hi, no it is made for nylon strings. But if you want a crisper sound you can use higher tension nylon.

@rakehell404 - lol… you know I was wondering about the solo - to include or not, that was the question. I thought, naw people might not want to do all that. sounds like I guessed wrong! I love that solo. I think the accoustic version is one of the best examples of blending a solo into a tune with Travis picking. I’ll put it on my future episode list. but it won’t be right away. At the moment I’m working through ‘dock of the bay’. thanks for your comment, and I am glad you enjoyed the tutorial! 🎶🎶

@rakehell404 - posted the landslide solo tutorial, thanks for the interest, hope you enjoy. 🎶🎶

@mycresentmoon - I’m so glad you are enjoying them! The strings are the Aquila Super Nylgut.

@teeum5 - the drum is a long story. It started as part of an anniversary celebration, and I didn’t think I would play it much beyond that event, but it turned out to be so much fun I got hooked! And you are right, Meinl is based in Gutenstetten! That’s new information for me. Thanks for mentioning it, I had not initially noticed, very cool. 😎

@pixpusher - yep, sometimes they are bundled on the same page on percussion sites, but those are suppose to be played at your side. They also seem to have a brighter tone. They are also beautiful though. Thanks for watching!

@rakehell404 - I’m glad it was helpful! I’m currently working on another ‘guitar to baritone Uke’ tutorial series for ‘Dock of the Bay’. Hope you tune in for it. Thanks for watching! 🎶🎶

@McFly-guitars-n-stuff You got it in a trade! very cool great way to recycle gear. Mine gives me suitable volume as long as I treat the gain more like the volume control. So I turn that way up and it doesn’t distort unless I use the toggle for the OverDrive. I’m sorry to hear yours distorts all the time. Good to know though, thanks for sharing that. And you’re right they’re no competition for full size. Definitely wish there were more mini bass amp options.

@lindasmith6668 - I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching. 🎶🎶

Hi, they are both fun sizes, the preference will come with what you plan to primarily use it for. If you will be playing with other people, you might want the mini II because it is the larger of the two so you’ll get a bit more volume. You’d also probably want to get a mini II with the Electronics in it like the EB so you can plug it into a little mini amp cause you will not be as loud as the steel string players otherwise. If you are primarily playing for your own enjoyment then the regular mini is light and easy to have around. You can even play a song or two on the couch in between commercials if you’re watching TV. it’s fun and convenient. Neither is a bad choice however, as they are both very playable. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching!

@fretfrontier I ended up getting a Manuel Rodriguez T-53, it was about the same price as one of the higher-end Mini IIs. I'm really enjoying it so far, you can't really find reviews or videos about any of the smaller models from that brand, so I was taking a real gamble when I ordered it!

@ostrichnipples - Ahh a traditional classical body! That’s great, it looks like a very nice upgrade from what you had described. I’m glad you are enjoying it! Maybe you will make a review video about your new find? 🤔 - congratulations!

Hi Mike! Thanks! Knowledge is power. It helps down the line with improvising and arranging. It takes the mystery away, And it’s fun!

@teeum5 - Thanks Rici! The Uke is also an excellent choice. It sure is a great size and it brought me to these smaller size guitars. So much more comfortable!

@FPerini - Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed. The guitar is very fun to play! The size is so nice for comfortable playing.

@FPerini - Thank you!

@pixpusher - thanks ukehead buddy!

@marielue - I used the Miwayer Ukulele Real Bone 53mm Bridge Saddle. it brought the action down to 2.75 - the compensated version is better for intonation on the 12th fret but the regular one will work too as far as the action. hope this info proves useful. link to the saddle…. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HJRRWC9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@stevewashburn7343 - I’m glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! 🎶🎶

@shockslice7632 - I’m so glad to hear it was helpful! The original minis seem hard to find recently. I hope they have not discontinued them. Super fun instrument. Best hopes for your search! 🎶🎶

@kendo4242 - Wow, that is exciting! What a find! I don’t know why they stopped making that model. It is really a joy. I hope your new guitar brings you much playing enjoyment. Thank you for watching. 🎶🎶

@@fretfrontier Yes indeed! Your video helped me decide. Thanks!

@tomfontanella6585 - That’s wonderful! I’m so glad to hear that it’s helping you out. Thanks for watching.

@ALIENsosa - yes, body design can make the balance feel different even when overall weight is same. Good point on the headstock straps vs the under neck button - agreed. On acoustic instruments I also tend to skip the under neck button.

@rodrigoocampos1622 - Thank you! I appreciate it. 🎶🎶

@mikestolz7199 - Thanks Mike, that is so nice to hear. You are very kind. 🎶🎶

@mikestolz7199 - Glad you enjoyed it!

@johndunbar5857 - I am glad the info was helpful! I love those neck-up straps they really make it easier on the back and the left hand - positioning the instrument is so much easier. I hope you enjoy yours. Thanks for watching!

@tbeau6663 - Wally thanks you for being on his team, and he says you have good taste! Thank you for watching.

@yeahdanny - that sounds great. I hope you enjoy learning the Uke. It is delightful to play. It is also very thoughtful of you to make a Ukulele available for your friends visit. May your enya bring you much joy! 🎶🎶

@mikestolz7199 - Hi Mike, you are really flying along on this! Great to hear, and I’m so glad you like the arrangement. I had fun with it. It’s a song that was just made for those open voicings! 🎶🎶

@SternDrive - the accoustic blues series might be a bit too much for a beginner. I hope you’ll stick around and try a few things. But I don’t have ‘new to Uke’ lessons out yet. don’t get discouraged whatever you try or whatever channels you explore. You will find you can definitely do this. Your skills will grow a little with each practice session. be patient and kind to yourself. The ukulele makes some of THE most beautiful sounds in the world, and we all deserve some beauty in our lives. I hope your baritone Uke brings you much joy. 🎶🎶

@sterndrive - Hi, welcome to the channel. yes, it’s DGBE, like the first 4 strings of the guitar. Congratulations on your new Baritone!

@lamontemckinney9724 - thank you!

@thedaways - I’m glad it was helpful!

@stephencoxbass - Stephen! wow, thank you so much! I love your channel, I bought my Ubass because of your vids. I appreciate your comment. 🎶🎶

@@fretfrontier I'm glad you like my videos! I really like how you break up your tutorials with some humorous things here and there. You have a talent for teaching for sure!

@mikestolz7199 - Hi Mike, I’m glad it was helpful! Wally helps me stay quick on the draw that’s for sure. 😼 He surprised me with that saddle heist though. 🤣
